I have a distinct memory growing up in Texas of my professional chef father giving me some great advice: "Everything is better in a tortilla," he would say before throwing a slice of leftover lasagna in a flour tortilla to be consumed over the kitchen sink.

While I wouldn't call leftover lasagna the best taco filling, I would agree that everything is better in a tortilla. National Taco Day is Oct. 4 and deals are abound.

RECIPE: Chorizo and potato tacos with cilantro-lime slaw

Here's where you can get a free or discounted taco on Oct. 4.

Baja Fresh: Get $5 off your order when you join Club Baja.

Chronic Taco: Get a free chicken, al pastor, carnitas or Beyond Beef taco from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The secret code word will be announced on Chronic Taco's social media.
